Sorry about this being a week late, will try and get the next chapter out faster, everyone stay safe

"Hey, I don't like how the bitch treated us either bro, but come on, don't let her get to you. The number of times I've wanted to kill the people I'm recording….." The camera said shaking his head.

"But I do want to hurt that bitch!" Robert said as he growled and he felt so mad, his cameraman put a hand on his shoulder moments before they both went still as Hawkmoth spoke to them. "Greetings Camera crew, down in the dumps because of what a brat told you? Well then let us change the heading and start over, after all why write about the news when you can make it? Cameraneer I will give you the power to hold people still or push them away at will and you News Jahral will strike hard and fast, with every strike you cleave even closer to the truth. All I ask in return is the Miraculous of Ladybug and Chat Noir!"

"I'll make their defeat front-page news Hawkmoth!" Robert growled as the cameraman chuckled.

"With my help of course boss," The cameraman said as the both of them were covered in purple energy.

"I knew there was something about you that was different lately Max, but you were Peggy, I didn't expect that!" Kim said as Xuppu laughed as he sat on his head. Max chuckled as he sat with Markov floating around the room talking with Sass as Kaalki sat and drank from a tiny teacup.

"Or that you were Roi Singe, I didn't even think of the possibility, it was totally out of my predictions," Max said and

Master Wu only rubbed his beard as he watched Kim, smiling as he looked at them. "It's the Miraculous, they hide those who use them if they don't transform in front of people or are told who they are. It helped me fight against the Nazis back in the day. But enough about that, you came for a reason young Max?"

"Yes, I did. Originally it was because of what I found about Lila, but then with what I saw on the road and then I heard about the people found,"

"Dude that was creepy! When Odine and I found them all, I thought they just might have been dead but when I checked they were all breathing, we just couldn't wake them at all!" Kim said as the others looked at him in shock.

"You found them? Did you see anything that looked out of place, anything at all? My mother's best friend was part of a group that was found when they were our age. They were all unconscious for months!" Max said and Kim blinked as Fu went still as the Kwami all looked at him, Xuupi was quiet as he looked down at Max as Kim looked at him.

"Unconscious? I remember sometimes before WW2, I was moving up from Italy….. there was a similar event, a mafia family that controlled a town. The heir, the head, and most of the higher officers all fell into comas. I was trying to open a restaurant there and paid them protection money and they did protect my place so they were better than most, they even helped me repair it when some of their members were attacked in it by a rival family," Fu said as he rubbed his beard as the two teens looked at him with open mouths prompting Fu to laugh lightly. "What, the mafias were originally vigilante groups, before WW2 they were more….true to their roots."

"Woah. You've seen a lot of history haven't you dude?" Kim said in awe and Max shook his head and looked at Fu with a strange look.

"What happened to then?" Max asked and Fu shrugged.

"I don't know, the same rival family tried to use the fact there were foreigners there as the cause. I was attacked by a mob to take me to a 'trial' to use me and a few others scapegoats, I escaped, saved the others we all ran away, a few weeks later Mussolini took power and then I escaped to Paris, stayed there until before the Occupation and I was on one of the last boats to England," Fu said with a shrug. "You know, I think that the whole family was killed by Mussolini when he took power…"

Max and Kim looked at each other as Markov floated around them, neither of them noticing Markov made a note about what Fu said.

Before they could say anything their phones started to ring and Kim and Max stared at their phones in shock.

Alya finished the last of her food and smiled at Chloe and Sabrina as the two chatted quietly with their Kwamis. As Trixx ate the last of her food she giggled and looked at Alya and smiled. Alya opened her mouth but before she could speak her phone buzzed, looking at it she paled. "Akuma."

"What?" Chloe asked moments before both her and Sabrina's phone's started to beep, Chloe paling as she recognized her phone's Akuma alarm. "What the Kwami?! Shouldn't that scum give us another day at least after two?!"

"He stopped pulling his punches, or he something's bothering him and he's trying to fi… fix it," Sabrina said and Alya looked at her sharply before she nodded slightly, knowing just what Sabrina meant. They had talked about what Alya had heard after the chat last night had ended, Chloe had said that Gabriel might have been a control freak but he truly loved his family. Chloe said that

"Yeah, oh gods….. Lila did this and it's gonna be two at once!" Alya said as she saw the video Aurore sent her and Chloe looked up and glared at Alya.

"What do you mean, Lila did this!?" Chloe demanded and Alya scowled and put her phone on the table as the video played as Chloe, Sabrina and their Kwamis looked at it, seeing the scene that Aurore had captured.

"Oh, that little bitch! No, I take that back, it's insulting female dogs to be compared to Lila!" Sabrina snarled as Chloe looked down at the phone with a strange look on her face.

"Yeah pup, by existence! I've seen some scum over the centuries but this, I mean how can such a witch live and not have made enough enemies to kill her yet!?" Barkk asked as Pollen growled as Trixx nodded.

"I think we need to talk to the others, I really do. But should we go? I mean we can't meet the others there but if Hawkmoth figures out we knew already by us telling them there, then what could happen, could he figure out who we are?" Chloe asked and Alya went pale before Trixx looked at the others.

"Then contact the others, let them know about what we know before we attack, misdirection is a part of Illusion after all, let him think what he will," Trixx said and Alya nodded, smiling as Chloe chuckled. A beeping from their phones caused them to look down and Chloe grinned.

Marinette ran to her room, Adrien Plagg and Tikki following behind her. Bellow her parents were closing down the shop and she knew they trusted her enough if the Akuma wasn't close to hide in her room. As she pulled her phone out she saw it was in a park in the 16 arrondissement and sighed.

"Where is it milady?" Adrien asked and she smiled at him

"The 16th, we're far enough away that they won't check on us and keep working," Marinette said and Adrien grinned and nodded.

"So we can go and talk to the team before we get there then?" Adrien said and Marinette grinned back at him.

"Right Kitty! Tikki, Spot's On! Marinette called out as she transformed into Ladybug.

"Plagg, Claws Out!" Adrien called, following Marinette and transforming into Chat Noir, he looked at Ladybug and the two of them grinned at each other before they ran to the stairs to the roof and within moments they jumped away towards where the attack was.

Back in the room Sabine peaked up from the door down into the apartment and grinned, happy that the two of them finally had each other to lean on.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Max looked down at his phone as it rang, Marinette but the number had a K on it, and he looked up at Fu and Kim. I already gave away their identities before, I won't do it again! I have to tell her what's happening here! He thought as he accepted the call. "Pegasus here. I'm with the Guardian and Roi Singe, he knows my identity but not yours."

"Foxy here, I'm with the Bee and the Dog, we're ready to move out!" A voice that sounded familiar to Kim came through the phone.

"Turtle here, I'm with family, I can't get away…I'm sorry," A voice said quietly and Kim raised an eyebrow, he knew that he had heard that voice before but where?

"Roi Singe….. fine. Does anyone have any idea what's we're up against?" Chat Noir asked and Kim looked at Max as he looked at Markov who had jacked into Fu's computer.

"Ivo here, I've hacked into the cameras and I see two Villains, one that looks like a long-range combatant and maybe a close-range… Villain long has two weapons as his arms that he's just using to destroy the park and Villain close has two swords but he seems to be mostly yelling, the police tried to move in and he attacked them with an energy wave that knocked them away," Markov said and Kim whistled and looked at him as Kaalki floated and looked at the AI with a grin.

"Okay, that tracks, any idea where the Akuma is?" A female voice asked and for a second Kim thought it was Marinette but he shook his head, it couldn't be his old friend. That was as likely as Nino being a hero too!

"It's in the camera, so the weapon for the long-range one maybe? We'll see when we get there…. Turtle is out, but are the rest of you ready to play?" Chat Noir asked and Rena Rogue started to chuckle.

"Yeah, we'll tell you there, full press then?" Another voice asked and for a moment Kim thought it was Sabrina but he shook his head.

"No, Chat and I are heading towards the park from the south, Rena, Apisera, and Canixia, I want you all to come from the east, circle around, and get ready to strike. Pegasus have Ivo keep hacking, I want you ready to make a portal so we can escape if we have to, Roi Singe stay there, if we need you I'll call," Ladybug said firmly and Kim nodded before he chuckled as Max turned the phone off.

"You know, that sounds like a plan Mari made once, back for our gild in CombatCrafter, quick and simple with a way out," Kim mused as he looked down, missing the look that passed between Max and Fu as the Kwami all giggled as Kim looked at them.

Ladybug and Chat Noir dashed over the roofs of Paris as they both closed their tools. They looked at each other and shot a grin as they reached the park, looking down they saw police getting the last of the people away from the park. Chat Noir looked over at Ladybug as they stood on the building and as the sun caused her pigtails to sway a little he wondered how he had ever not seen who she was, personally Plagg blamed how lovesick he was and the Glamor.

"So a normal double attack, not too bad, after the last two…. Think the short one is like Kagami was?" Chat Noir muttered and Ladybug nodded.

"Yeah, and I'm worried about the second one, and if he's experimenting… if he's trying to make something like Dark Owl…." Ladybug trailed off as Chat Noir looked at her before his eyes widened and he nodded.

"Yeah, I can see what he might be after, he's gotten luck today," Chat Noir muttered as their tools beeped. Ladybug brought out her yoyo and opened it, giggling at what she saw before turning it to Chat Noir, showing him an emoji of a fox with a '+2 E' next to it.

"They're ready, let's go!" She said before she jumped into the park, Chat Noir following after her. the sounds of someone screaming caused them to grin and run towards them, hiding behind the foliage to take a look at their opens this time.

The closest one was the short-range one as Markov called it. He was tall with black hair wearing what looked like black Viking clothes with two short swords in his hands, a helm with four horns pointing up in a square formation on it on his head with his eyes covered by it. A black cap was down his back with a symbol of a white butterfly on it.

Farther away from them was the second Villain, a full conversion cyborg with green armor, a normal body but two canons in place of its hands, the right was black and the left was white, a symbol of a white butterfly on its chest. On its back was a strange-looking hi-tech pack with a camera on a swivel dead center behind the cyborg's head.

Ladybug quietly brought out her yoyo and sent a text out to her team. Chat Noir looked down at his baton and saw the message and smirked, nodding to Ladybug he tensed as he waited for the others to act.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Lila smirked as she walked away from the park, she had run away as soon as she saw her target had attracted an Akuma. But no matter how much she wanted to go and help them, she had no power and they might attack her first since she gave them their awakening to what this was, no it was for the best that for now her to stay away from the fight until she was called in; maybe even Volpina again. As she turned the corner a woman in a coat ran by her and pushed Lila to the ground as she ran by.

Lila scowled as she looked from the ground and looked at the woman. "Hey, where's the fire bitch!"

Lila scowled and got back up from the ground and looked towards where the woman had gone, already crafting a story with her in it. She stopped for a moment and grinned evilly, she could spin this as Marinette attacking her, after all, why would anyone else attack her but Marinette? She was a helper, she volunteered for charities and tried to help everyone she could, whoever tried to attack her had to have been Marinette, should she play up the sympathy angle.

As she walked away she looked over her shoulder and smiled at the woman. "THANK YOU!"

The woman ignored her and ran towards a building, almost all of her face hidden by her hood, all but the evil grin she had as she ran ever closer. The chance to get another Miraculous, and the two of Creation and Destruction, was a gift that she knew would be appreciated by her lovers.

"So we get to try our luck against those two, I can't wait!" A greedy sounding voice said from one of her pockets and the woman giggled as she brushed her left ear.

"You're pretty excited aren't you Nekka? I mean after that Dolphin bitch escaped us I expected you would want to eat more food until I got you ready to go out again," The woman muttered and a laugh was heard from her pocket.

"Chick, we lost the little swimmer, we might have gotten her old wielder, and with the others deal with that crime family down in the old Empire, we have to handle this ourselves and with the Queen, and with her cover still in its infancy, we have to move more. And if that idiot gets here I want you to have enough skill to handle those who follow him," Nekka admitted and the woman laughed.

"Let's see what our juniors will do first my friend, and if need be we'll see how Wraith's work does first," The woman said as she reached an alley with a fire escape on the right side. She threw a knife that cut through the chains on it, sending the ladder down and as she walked towards it she smirked, for once itching for the fight to come.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

At the station, Rob and Sarah chatted softly as they walked out of their meeting with Nadjia, both of them had taken the jobs that she had for them with some surprise, with the way the powers that be worked they had been surprised there was still a diplomat high enough to give their families immunity in the city. As hard as he tried, he could only think that Lila had lied about who her mother was, after the research, he had done for a paper years ago he knew that once a mind controller was in a city all but the lowest public officers were sent away, he had even covered how the President of France had relocated after Stoneheart. Lila's mother had to be a diplomatic courier; that was the only way that she could even be a diplomat if she was telling the truth about that.

While Rob was thinking of the political approach to this, Sarah was thinking about a pen pal she had who told her about how her cousin's life was made a living hell for a year by this new student who she called Liairla, the chances that this girl was Lila was something that she couldn't ignore. The way that her friend told of the trouble that her relative, the way the cousin's life was destroyed, how their life was destroyed, and how when the liar left the school almost closed down and there was a riot at the end. If this Lila was the same girl, then if she could get in contact with that pen pal, she might have enough information to get the bitch thrown into jail. But the main problem was the town her pen pal said that their cousin was from a town that wasn't that diplomatically important but was commercial, something about a lab for a company that researched something or other, she wasn't sure. What could a diplomat be doing there?

As they walked their phones suddenly started to ring and Nadjia came running out, grabbing Rob and pulling him along with her.

"Boss, what the heck!?" Rob asked as Nadjia pulled him into an elevator and pressed a button, Sarah barely making it inside.

"There's and Akuma at a park, it's far enough away from us we need to fly to get there and I need a cameraman and you're it," Nadjia said as the elevator started to move upwards.

"ME!?" Rob asked with shock as Sarah grinned at him, happy that

"Yes, you were here and I needed someone who has a good eye. With Akuma, we need to know everything about an area so we can find the best vantage point, and well I need someone I can trust more. And you get hazards and over time so there's that," Nadjia admitted and Rob looked like he was about to say something when Nadjia sighed. "I'm sorry for how rushed this is but my normal ride along is at a funeral in Italy for his mentor. Please I need someone to help me on this."

"Fine, but if I see something we're out of there right?" Rob asked and Nadjia nodded.

"We get the scoop, but we stay alive first and foremost," Nadjia said as the door opened onto the roof, a helicopter with its blades spinning waiting for them. "I'll be waiting, you've got two minutes to say goodbye!"

As Nadjia ran to the helicopter, Sarah hugged Rob and he grinned at her as she kissed his cheek.

"Good luck brother," Sarah said softly and Rob smirked.

"Sis, I've got luck, skill, and pride. I'll be fine. You stay here, if the Akuma's come this way, run. Don't let others stop you get out of Paris, you got me?" Rob asked and Sarah nodded and Rob ran towards the helicopter, climbing into it and as it flew away, Sarah looked at it for a few moments before moving back inside, heading towards one of the lower floors to send a message to her penpal, telling her that she might have a lead on where that witch she was told about is.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"Come heroes! Face News Jaharl! WHERE ARE YOU ALL?!" News Jaharl, the former Jonny roared as he looked around.

"My Jaharl, we will face our foes soon be ready," The cameraman turned Cameraneer said as he looked around, his robotic eyes trying to find anything that might tell him where the enemy was. As he looked around he spotted two heat signatures and ignored them for the moment, thinking they were civilians who had hidden.

Moments later Ladybug and Chat Noir jumped out from the other side and stood there, ready to attack and News Jaharl laughed.

"So you've come out fools! You will fall to me, the greatest of all the Chosen of Hawkmoth!" News Jahrl called out only to be met with snickers from Chat Noir. "WHAT?!"

"Oh wonderful, he's one of those Akumas then. Think he's like this in civilian form?" Chat Noir asked and News Jaharl looked at the two heroes as they chatted like he wasn't even there.

"And his partner looks like a robot and that crest? I wonder what Hawky is feeling to even try this?" Ladybug asked with a smirk and Caneraneer only looked on as they laughed as News Jaharl glared at them before screaming and charging at them, bringing his swords down in an X slash that sent an energy X from them straight at the heroes.

They jumped away forward, dodging the energy attack as they passed the attack Chat Noir attacked News Jarharl when suddenly he flew as if someone pushed him to the side. Camareaneer had hit Chat Noir with his left arm and News Jaharl laughed as he charged at Ladybug. Suddenly something yellow looped around his left arm and pulled it back fast, his arm going as far it could.

Rena Rouge and Canixia charged from the bushes as Cameraneer cried out as News Jaharl looked back and cursed as he saw the other three heroes joining the battle. With Chat Noir free from Camareaneer's power he charged at News Jaharl who met the attacks with his swords as Ladybug attacked Camareaneer as Canixia charged at News Jaharl.

"Chat, help Canixia try and find anything that sword boy could have the Akuma on, I'll help Rena and Apisera!" Ladybug called out as she ran towards Cameraneer.

As the other two heroes attacked News Jaharl, Ladybug swung her yoyo around Cameraneer's other arm and forced it as far back as it could go as Apisera appeared from the foliage, pulling the arm her top was wrapped around, holding it in place, all of them keeping from getting into his line of sight or aim as Rena Rouge tried to get the backpack off him.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"No! They're just looking for the Akuma without a Luck Charm?! News Jarharl getaway and help Cameraneer now!" Hawkmoth bellowed as Nathalie entered the lair, looking at her tablet.

"So there are more heroes just like last time, and have they changed tactics?" Nathalie muttered as Duusu flew above her and looked down at her.

"Maybe, sometimes the old fogies just wanted to rush their foes, maybe they're hoping they have something new," Dussu suggested and Hawkmoth went still and started to curse.

"NO! THE DOG! They're trying to track us down, I can't give them orders!" Hawkmoth cursed and Nathalie went to her broach.

"I could send help….." Nathalie began but she was interrupted.

"NO! This just proves to me that the other plan is the best course of action! For now, we wait and see what happens!" Hawkmoth said and Nathalie nodded, for now, willing to follow orders.

"Too bad you can't use a carrier moth, you know?" Duusu said bluntly and Hawkmoth looked at him in anger.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

On the building overlooking the park, the woman pouted as she looked down at the battle in the distance. She was impressed with the heroes, they acted fast, trusted each other and so far hadn't used their powers, a lot better than some of the other heroes her group had fought over the centuries.

"They're a lot better than some of the fools we've dealt with, and Captain Reich was an embarrassment all things told, want to make a splash?" A voice asked and the woman nodded as they heard a helicopter coming closer.

"Yes, we should, we did have orders after all," The woman said and a chuckle was heard.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Nadjia smiled as she looked at the city as they flew through the air, Bob behind her readying the camera as he swallowed. When he had volunteered for this he didn't know what to expect, but discovering he was sky sick wasn't one of them. He could handle plane travel but why was this so hard for him to deal with?

As his stomach lurched he felt something in him, something that he barely sensed, and a moment later he saw the park and the battle winced as he saw the two Villians fighting against the Heroes, and once he got a look at them through the camera he recognized who they were right away.

"Jonny and his cameraman," He breathed and Nadjia looked at him before she paled and looked down at the battle.

"Get us away, I want us to be at the edge of the park now!" She barked and as the pilot nodded she looked at the battle and hoped that Jonny's anger at them wouldn't cause the Villain to attack them.

"Thinking he might attack us boss?" Rob asked softly and Nadjia nodded and he sighed. Yeah, he might. I always hated that scum, but really what happened to him? What caused him to get that mad, no what caused both of them to get so mad? He thought as the helicopter flew away, however as they reached the street he saw something as they turned. "TO THE RIGHT, SOMEONES ON THE ROOF!"

"What?" Nadjia asked moments before something grey flashed by them. "What was that?!"

"No, who was that," Rob said as he tried to focus on the battle with his camera, the rising dust cloud the only thing they could see.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"DIE!" A voice screeched from above them, moments before something hit the ground, the force it generated caused everyone to be thrown away, a dust cloud generated by the impact. Ladybug got back to her feet and saw she was near Rena Rouge and Apisera was to their left, Cameraneer was getting back to his feet and Chat Noir, Canixia and their target News Jaharl weren't in sight, they had to be on the other side of the dust cloud.

Out of the dust a figure emerged, she was a tall woman with an hourglass build who looked to be in her early twenties, she was wearing a white bodysuit with grey gauntlets on that went to just below her elbow, grey knee-high boots and her eyes were covered by a silver mask, her hair was white and long above a silver cape, and on her belt was a sack with silver spheres in it. In her hands was a long staff with two blades on the top and bottom of it on the opposite sides from each other. She grinned at them with silver lips as she glared at them with pure black eyes and sclera.

As the dust cleared Ladybug saw Chat Noir and Canixia were behind News Jaharl who glared at the woman in rage.

"So these are the heroes of Paris, I'm not impressed, but the Gems of Creation and Destruction…. Oh, giving those to Lust and Pride will be wonderful!" The white-clad figure said with a grin as the heroes and the Akuma looked at her, realizing that she wasn't working with Hawkmoth. "But then the illusion powers of the fox, now that might be something to keep!"

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

In his lair Hawkmoth saw what was happening through his Akuma's eyes he was so shocked that he took a step backward, Nathalie looked at him in shock and looked down at her tablet, trying to find a video and gasped as she saw a feed from the helicopter.

"Who is that? What is this?" Nathalie asked and Hawkmoth frowned, wondering what was happening as well.

"Wait, 'Gems of Creation and Destruction, whoever this is knows just what Ladybug and Chat Noir have! And my Champion is gone!" Hawkmoth said as he looked at Nathalie who only looked back at him with a scowl and Hawkmoth nodded after a few moments.

"And since they can't bother to use the Dog's powers now, isn't this the best time to order your Champions," Duusu asked with a quiver to its voice.

Hawkmoth grinned and started to chuckle as Nathalie looked at Duusu and sighed, shaking her head and wondering what could be done to fix its Miraculous.

"We'll just watch from here, News Crew take her down!" Hawkmoth ordered as Nathalie looked down at her tablet.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"Who are you!?" Chat Noir demanded as the woman laughed and looked at Chat Noir and smirked.

"EMMMM, I do love the leather look on you boyo, maybe I'll keep you once I take your Jewel!" She said with a leer as she licked her lips and Ladybug went red as Chat Noir stepped back.

"Hands off the Kitty!" Ladybug snarled as the woman laughed and looked at her.

"Ohhh don't worry, I'll take you too, she could do with a new girltoy!" She purred as she spun her duel scythe and Ladybug blanched as Chat Noir started to growl.

"FOUL WRENCH, YOU DARE STAND AGAINST MY LORD'S WILL!?" News Jaharl bellowed and charged at the woman as Cameraneer fired its left arm, the woman jumped towards News Jaharl and slashed at him with her weapon, News Jaharl blocked with his right blade and she smirked as she flew by and brought her right hand to the center of her weapon and withdrew four organic-looking metallic spheres.

"Face the Legions!" She roared as she threw the spheres to the ground, releasing a flash of light. As the light died down four monsters were revealed. All of them were insect-like creatures five feet tall with black carapace bodies with legs that ended in three talons in a Y shape and two compound eyes and twitching antenna, two of them had mandibles in front of their mouths with two arms that ended in grasshopper-like claws while the other two had fanged maws that dripped a white liquid both of them had a clawed five finger clawed right arm and an organic cannon arm that dripped the same liquid as their mouths.

"What are those?!" Apisera demanded as the woman laughed.

As the two with two clawed arms charged at Chat Noir and Canixia, the other two attacked Cameraneer; shooting spheres of the white liquid from their canon arms that hit the arms and legs of the Akuma, clinging where they hit and keeping it from moving any part of its body that was covered.

As the heroes looked on as News Jaharl attacked the woman again she only laughed as the two canon-armed creatures aimed at the heroes as Chat Noir and Canixia fought the other two creatures.

"Who are you!?"News Jharl demanded as he swung out with his blades.

"My name is Nekhbet, fall to my power!" The self-named Nekhbet cackled as she spun around the Akuma, trying to hit him with her weapon.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Ondine looked at her TV in horror as Nadjia kept speaking. "…. And as you can see here a new figure has attacked both the heroes and the Akuma! Somehow she summoned what I can only describe as insect monsters. Who this woman is and what she's after is unknown, but this reporter can only hope that our heroes can handle this new threat!"

"Is that one of the Sins?" Ondine asked as she looked at the screen as Bottla landed on her shoulder.

"Yeah, the Sin of Sloth, the Vulture! She's carrying the vitality of everyone she hit last night in that pouch around her belt, if you get that and use your power on it then they'll all wake up, if you go that is," Bottla said and Odine took out the Miraculous and put the small silver choker around her neck, looking at Bottla who grinned.

"What do I have to do?" Ondine asked in a hard tone as Bottla summersault.

"Yes! Okay, my power activates with the command, Bedlam and then you have to hit what you want when you activated with your fists or feet, you do know martial arts right?" Bottle asked and Odine nodded.

"I practice kickboxing, nothing I would show people but mostly to improve my leg strength," Odine said and looked at Bottla and frowned. "But what are those monsters, how can we destroy them?"

"They're the Legions, creations of the Sin of Lust. All we have to do is deal enough damage they'll die and fall apart. And if we hit any of them with our power then all of those summoned at the same time will attack their summoner. But after you use my power we have a five-minute window then we'll transform back. And my transformation lets you breathe water and swim miles in seconds," Bottla said and Odine grinned, that was good as far as she was concerned. She knew the underground well, the parts under the city above the catacombs at least. With that luck, she could make it to the battle and away by the nearby river so no one can figure out who she is. "And to transform, just call out my name and the phrase, 'Let's Dance in the Water! But wait, remember to grab some lettuce so I can power back up if we have to. And we have to touch the golden egg with our power; that will release the vitality back to the people who've been drained."

Ondine nodded and quickly gathered three plastic bags full of lettuce and nodded, taking and releasing a deep breath and nodded.

"Okay. Bottla, Let's Dance in the Water!" Ondine called out, Bottla was sucked into the chocker.

Ondine spun around and raised her arms as grey light flashed down them, leaving grey coverings in their place. As it reached her body a grey bodysuit was formed, black coloring on her outer body and the sides of her breasts. As the light traveled up her neck it left a grey covering that went to the base of her head. She brought her right hand over the back of her head her hair grew until it reached the small of her back and turned black, she then brought her hand across her eyes, leaving behind a black facemask. As the light traveled to the ends of her legs as they passed she was revealed to be wearing a grey bodysuit, and when it faded away grey lights flashed around her feet and hands as gauntlets and boots formed above the bodysuit and she spun around, kicking out with her right before she posed.

She looked at a mirror and whistled as she saw how she looked.

"So this is how I look with long hair, not bad…. Wait….I need a name, something to separate my civilian self from my hero…How about Salacia? Yeah, that sounds good," Salacia said as she ran towards the basement and the door to the underground her family had there.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Kim looked at his phone and growled as Fu looked through a tablet as Max tried to find anything on the web.

"Nothing, I can't find anything about whoever that is! She must either be new or she left no witnesses in her wake!" Max said bitterly and Fu looked up and nodded.

Fu had heard a few rumors over the century since he left the temple about people with strange abilities, at the time he had thought they were Miraculous users first, but then the Age of Heroes had begun but this was different, something about how she summoned those monsters…. He shook his head and looked at Kim, a strange feeling coming over him. "We can't wait until you're called, go and help them."

"Wait, what? Me!?" Kim exclaimed and Xuppu grinned and shot to the box and back, his Miraculous in its arms.

"Yeah, if we're needed we gotta go. So you up for it kid?" Xuupu asked with a smirk as Kim took the circlet and put it around his head, smirking.

"Let's Go! Xuupu, Show Time!" Kim called out, Xuupu laughed as he was sucked into his Miraculous.

Kim slammed his arms onto the ground and light went up his arms and down his body, leaving a light brown superhero jumpsuit that is resembled a tracksuit behind, the top piece covering his stomach and pectorals is a light tannish, and a golden belt with a dark brown buckle and brown spots on either side of his hips with a brown rope attached to a hook with a golden tip that resembles the tail of a monkey. A spike forms on top of his hair as it turned red, looking like fire as a gold and dark brown mask that covers up most of his head formed. His boots and gloves extended away from his body as a staff appeared that he got on, smirking as the transformation finished, Roi Singe stood proud.

"How do I get there?" Roi Singe asked and Fu pointed towards his staff. Looking at the center portion he saw a small rectangular screen and touched it, seeing a map of the sewers, and grinned before he ran out of the room leaving the others behind as Max stood up and looked at Markov.

"Markov, looking into anything on the net about who this…woman is, I'll be ready if something happens that they need an escape," Max said as Markov 'nodded' and Kaalki followed after Max, leaving Fu to look over the tablet alone.

"Have any of you ever worked or knew anyone who could empower someone like this with that weapon?" Fu asked everyone, not caring that Markov was listening to them.

"No Master Fu, never….could the Mage's spellbook have survived?" Wayzz asked and Longg shook his head.

"No, my holder at the time was active, the Mage's tower was destroyed in first…. One of his apprentices…could they have done something at the end, saved something?" Longg muttered and all of the Kwami looked at him as Fu raised an eyebrow.

Nekhbet slashed at the Akuma laughing as she jumped around. This was fun, now all I have to do is As her monsters kept the heroes away she to the News Jaharl's face. "So can you see and hear me Hawkmoth?"

A purple butterfly energy mask formed on News Jaharl's face and his eyes turned purple. "I can, whatever you want with Ladybug and…."

"Keep them for all I care, I was instructed to make contact with you. My leader wants a meeting with you, tonight at the Le Parc des Princes at midnight," Nekbet said softly and smirked as the Akuma blinked and looked at her as the mask dissolved away. News Jaharl shook his head and headbutted Nekbet who stumbled back and he grinned and slashed down with his right sword, sending an energy slash that sent her flying.

Chat Noir parried a blow from one of the clawed monsters as Canixia blocked a blow from the other one. We need to break this tie, we can't hold forever! I could use my power but this would be a terrible time to find out it doesn't work on 'living' things! If these are like Senti-Monsters then I have to find the control item, but what could it be!? And who the heck is bird woman?! He thought as he dodged backwards and jumped over the monster he had been fighting towards Canixia, slamming his baton-staff into the monster she was fighting sending it flying into the other one.

"And here I heard that cats and dogs fight all the time?" Canixia said with a grin and Chat Noir grinned.

"Not this kitty, I grew up in a house with a nice doggie!" Chat Noir said with a grin and Canixia giggled as she kept her eyes on the monsters as they got back up growling behind their mandibles. "But I sure hate these things!"

"Yeah, wanna try and get to the others?" Canixia asked softly and looked at the two attacking their allies.

Apisera looked around as she and Ladybug used their tools to make a shield from the globes from the other monster as Rena Rouge hid behind them. I never thought I would be here on my first day as a permanent holder. So what can we do? I mean we need to handle the Akuma but these things…. The big guy has to have the Akuma, but if we take it while the other one is in combat with whoever that is. We need to get away, we need help or we need to bring in more help…. Viperion would have been perfect for this! As she looked at them Rena Rouge scowled before looking down at her flute and then back at the others.

"Guys, I'm going to make drop back, give me two minutes then I'll make an illusion so you guys can fall back, it'll be of you two going left, right, back and forward, join up with the others and. I'll drop back, find a way down and recharge and get back to the fight," Rena Rouge said and Ladybug looked at her as Apisera gazed around the battle, her eyes finding Canixia she and Chat Noir fought off the two monsters attacking them.

"Do it, we've got nothing better," She said bitterly and Ladybug nodded.

"She's right, but try not to get hit," Ladybug said, Rena Rouge smiled and dropped into the foliage and once she was out of sight she brought her flute to her lips.

"Mirage!" Rena Rouge called out, a ball of light formed before it exploded, flashing a light that covered her and her friends behind her. She ducked down and moments later two spheres of liquid hit the trees around her and she moved towards the manhole she had seen there before.

Chat Noir saw the flash of light and smirked, hopefully, the others had a plan. Moments later multiple Ladybugs and Apisera charged in every direction and he smirked as he grabbed Canixia and jumped towards the right and a moment later a Ladybug and Apisera joined them and they looked at the battlefield.

Cameraneer was stuck with his arms locked down to the ground, the Villain was struggling from the bonding agent the monsters had fired at him, the monsters firing at the illusions before they disappeared, the other two monsters had been hit by stray blasts and were stumbling towards the heroes as News Jaharl attacked Nekhbet as she dodged the energy attack as she tried to get News Jaharl as she laughed.

"Anybody got a plan?" Apsiera asked as she gulped as all the monsters turned towards the heroes as News Jaharl attack Nekhbet.

"We try and take them down, we try and get Apisera to the new girl and then we break the butterfly free after we've dealt with those monsters!" Canixia exclaimed and the others nodded and

As Roi Singe ran along the platform in the sewers he grinned, he didn't expect to have something like this today, but man did it feel good! As he moved closer towards his destination he heard what sounded like someone swimming and wondered, what or who was down here with him.

Ahead of him, Salacia got out of the water, looking at her right glove and a holo-map that formed from a buckle on it and grinned. With tools like this, she had all the help she could need to handle this. And when she got the egg back and woke everyone up, then she could talk with the woman who gave her Bottla. As she looked at a ladder she heard a chuckle. Turning she saw Roi Singe walk towards her swinging his staff.

"Hello, who the pretty fish?" Roi Singe asked and Salacia scowled and looked at him.

"I'm not a fish I'm a mammal! And I'm here to kick the ass of the Vulture bitch up there!" Salacia said as she looked at Roi Singe who looked at her with a raised eyebrow.

"Okay, who is the Vulture?" Roi Singe asked Salacia looked at him hard and he chuckled and looked away. "The girl that attacked the Akumas and the others right?"

"Yes. She's one of seven, look did you hear about the people who were found passed out last night? She's the one who caused it. And unless I can touch the golden egg she's got, then they won't wake up until she uses it!" Salacia said and Roi Singe looked at her with a strange look in his eyes, and for a moment Salacia was worried that he didn't believe her when he put his staff down and looked at her and shook his head.

"I'm gonna say that's improbable, but we live in fear of evil butterflies so I'll believe ya for now. But pull a fast one and you'd better hope I go down first!" Roi Singe said moments before the manhole above them opened and Rena Rouge dropped down, looking at them in shock as she stared at them in shock before glaring at Salacia.

"Who the heck are you?!" Rena Rouge demanded as her Miraculous beeped and another mark on her necklace turned black.

"She's fighting against the lady up there, said something about how she's responsible for the people found last night,"

"Wait what? What people?" Rena Rouge asked in shock and Roi Singe looked at her.

"The people who were found unconscious last night, didn't you hear about it?" Salacia asked in shock and Rena Rouge nodded and looked around before she looked away.

"Okay, how could a minion maker cause people to fall unconscious?" Roi Singe asked as Salacia looked away.

"The minions are the work of another of them, the Ant," Salacia said and Rena Rouge slapped her forehead.

"How many are there?" Rena Rouge asked and Salacia gave a hard stare.

"Seven, and each one of is as vile as the others. According to the Dolphin Kwami they've been around a while, I mean I could tell you but we're on a timer right?" Salacia asked as another beep was heard as her Miraculous counted down. Rena Rouge looked at her before nodding and dashing off, leaving the two alone with each other as she dashed away and behind a corner. As she detransformed and reached for her bag and pulled out a bag with a chicken nugget in it and Trixx grinned and shot through the bag, eating the nugget in moments and grinned at her chosen.

"Ever seen anyone like this before Trixx?" Alya asked as she risked a glance back towards where Roi Singe and Salacia were waiting for her. Trixx shook her head, a look of concern on her face as she looked at Alya.

"No, I've never seen anyone who had this power back at Atlantis, I'm scared, I don't think they came from Atlantis," Trixx said softly and looked at Alya with a hard look. This is bad, this is so bad! I remember Bottla, but I thought she had been destroyed centuries ago, but she was alive and alone? What has she been doing all these years, has she been fighting against them? And who is powering the newcomer, I don't like this one bit, and the others are probably having the same thought as me? Trixx thought as she looked at Alya. "We need to talk to this girl, find out where these seven came from, and that's if they know that is. We might have a big problem here."

"And Hawk Butt is still around too…. This is gonna be bad isn't it?" Alya asked as Trixx nodded.

Alya sighed and looked down, the troubles with the school, Lila, Gabriel, and now these added from all the problems they had with Hawkmoth? She didn't know what was ahead of them but she hoped that they could handle it no matter what happened. As she looked at Trixx, she saw the looks in the Kwami's eyes and knew that after this battle, the War they had all found themselves in was that much larger than they thought at all. For Trixx, she knew that if their luck held then sooner or later they might face those he Miraculous were originally made to fight against.
